A consummate professional who guided our complex commercial transaction

Our company recently faced a multifaceted transaction involving the acquisition of a commercial property with significant existing tenant leases and corporate restructuring elements. Navigating this required an attorney with a broad, integrated skill set, not just a narrow specialist. Jim Schwarz was precisely that advisor. His 19 years of experience in general practice, with deep recognition in both real estate and corporate law, proved invaluable. He seamlessly connected the dots between property due diligence, leasehold concerns, and the corporate formation aspects, anticipating issues we hadn't considered. His 2017 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition in Real Estate Law was evident not in any mention of it, but in the quiet confidence and strategic foresight he brought to the table. Jim and the team at Taft managed the process with impeccable professionalism, keeping us informed and empowered at every decision point. The transaction closed smoothly, on time, and with terms more favorable than we initially hoped. For any business or individual in Indianapolis needing counsel on a matter that touches multiple legal areas, I cannot recommend James Schwarz more highly. He is the definition of a trusted legal partner.
